Reflections of Technology Facilitator Standard III- Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum

This standard is critical for facilitators to follow and implement in the 21st century classroom. Facilitating content standards as well as technology standards together should be one of the most important elements of education today.

Many forms of distant learning took place throughout the school year. I set up Skype for all teachers 4th and 5th grade teachers and model how they could be used in the classroom by speaking with another teacher at another school. I also used Survey Monkey to collect student perceptions on learning as well as teacher's perspectives.

Data was collected from Eduphoria and presented to teachers in various ways.

In the course EDLD 5368 Instructional design I used a learning style survey to see how students felt they learned best. It was interesting to find that most of the students were auditory learners. This surprised me considering I was under the impression that most students were visual learners. This helped to create lessons that could reach the auditory learner. We had visual students record themselves reading and our auditory students were able to listen and follow along.

Throughout this program there have been some teachers that have resisted technology integration. I feel as though, now, they have become more confident in integrating technology and using me as a facilitator.

I do not have any questions at this time about this standard.
